Mac Masina Foundation

Inspiring excellence through sport.

Our Programmes

 

The Mac Masina Foundation Community Sports Programme is an after-school programme aimed at young people from the ages of 14 — 35 years from Greater Soweto. The programme focuses on ‘Rugby, Athletics, Netball and Soccer as a social development instrument for young people. The programme aims to enhance young people’s social circumstances, with a strong focus of community development and uplift the youth.


The programme aims to not only provide young people with the social skills through sports but also to provide them with the possibility to take up sports as a career path to combat youth unemployment. The programme incorporates a five-pillar strategy based on a theoretical framework of resilience and positive youth development. The latter strives to develop young people’s character, connection, competence, and compassion.
